What I've learnt in 50 years on the JSE - David Shapiro

David Shapiro shares his pearls of wisdom after nearly 50 years as a trader and investor on the JSE. David started his career on the trading floor and has seen the rise of some incredible businesses over the past five decades. His father, Archie, was also a legend of the local bourse. David followed his father onto the trading floor for a brief period. He says, however, that his investment philosophy is very different to his father’s and acknowledges the technology revolution as the most significant change to the markets. He says it is crucial to keep your investment strategy simple by identifying good companies with strong management teams and emphasises the importance of time in the market. David compliments legendary investor Warren Buffet for his take on life and investing; the down-to-earth Berkshire founder is one of his role models. Learn more about your ad choices.
